"Boom—"

With a deep roar, the engine of the Jiefang truck, which had been dormant for two years, was finally awakened again.

The entire warehouse floor trembled slightly under this powerful force.

Jiang Tiezhu crawled out from under the car with his hands covered in grease, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"It's done!"

"Boss Lu, listen to this sound! It sounds brand new!"

Han Laoliu and Cao Guodong also came over, their three weathered faces beaming with the pride unique to craftsmen.

With a smile on his face, Lu Qingshan walked over and patted each of them on the shoulder.

"The three masters are truly amazing."

He then changed the subject, pointing to the car that had just been tested.

"However, I just heard a strange noise coming from deep inside the engine."

"When the speed increases, there is a soft 'clicking' sound, like... the sound of a bearing moving."

Jiang Tiezhu's smile froze, and he listened carefully.

"It seems... there really is a little bit of that."

He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Boss Lu, your ears are too sharp."

Lu Qingshan took out three thick red envelopes from his bag and stuffed them into their hands one by one.

"This bearing model is special; we definitely don't have it in the county. I have to go to the provincial capital tonight to get it."

"That's all for today. The three of you can go home and get some rest."

"Take this money; it's the agreed-upon bonus."

"Also, everyone will have a paid day off tomorrow. We'll get back to work when I return from the provincial capital."

Jiang Tiezhu held the thick wad of money in his hand, feeling it burning hot.

"Boss Lu, this... this job isn't finished yet, how can you take a bonus and paid leave..."

"One thing at a time."

Lu Qingshan's voice was unquestionable.

"The work was done beautifully, so it deserves a reward."

"To force it on without the right parts is irresponsible towards the car."

"Your sisters-in-law and children are waiting at home. Go back quickly. Tomorrow morning, I'll have Erniu deliver breakfast to everyone's homes."

Having said that, the three experienced craftsmen no longer refused, gratefully accepted the money, packed up their tools, and left.

Li Erniu followed them, but Lu Qingshan sent him back to the village under the pretext of "going home to take care of the mountain produce."

The huge warehouse was soon left with only Lu Qingshan.

He walked to the door and bolted the heavy iron door from the inside.

The world fell silent instantly.

Only the newly repaired truck engine was still idling, sputtering like the heart of a sleeping behemoth.

Lu Qingshan did not turn on the lights.

His eyes were brighter than an owl's in the darkness.

He moved silently through the huge warehouse like a black panther familiar with its territory.

He first picked up a bucket of used engine oil and casually sprinkled a few drops on several key entrances and passageways.

In the dim light, the few oil stains blended in with the accumulated dirt on the ground, making them completely invisible.

But the slippery feeling of stepping on it is enough to make a strong man lose his balance instantly.

After finishing that, he took several thick hemp ropes from the vehicle to tie up the goods.

He nimbly climbed up to the maintenance passage on the second floor and firmly tied one end of the rope to the sturdy steel beam.

At the other end, he made a slipknot, which he carefully let hang down, hiding it in the shadows behind the warehouse door.

The height of the buckle is just at the ankle.

A simple, yet deadliest, tripwire.

He did more than one.

He also set up the same traps using the same method on the other two main routes leading to the depths of the warehouse.

Then, he began to set up a second layer of deadly trap.

He took out several of the largest pipe wrenches and spanners from his toolbox, and then rummaged through a corner and found several heavy brake horseshoes.

He used thin steel wire to suspend these deadly iron lumps one by one directly above the tripwires he had just set up.

He cleverly connected the other end of the wire to the slipknot of the tripwire.

Once someone steps on the slipknot and trips, the heavy iron blocks weighing dozens of kilograms above their heads will fall silently under the force of gravity.

In the mountains, this is called a "chain snare," used to deal with the most cunning foxes and the fiercest wolverines.

Tonight, he's going to use it against people.

After doing all that, he walked up to the largest Liberation truck.

He opened the driver's cab door and hid inside the double-barreled shotgun that had accompanied him through countless life-and-death situations, as well as the hunting dog, Bluetail, which had been quietly lying in the corner.

He noticed something was wrong as early as the afternoon and sent Li Erniu back to the village to get the dog and the gun.

The reason given was to guard the factory gate for two days, as the car was valuable and they were afraid someone would vandalize it.

He patted Qingwei's head and lowered his voice.

"In a moment, you are not allowed to make a sound without my order."

Aoki let out a low whimper and rubbed her head against his palm.

Finally, Lu Qingshan took a deep breath and climbed onto the roof of the truck using both his hands and feet.

He lifted a corner of the heavy canvas and, like a snake, silently slid inside.

There is a narrow gap between the canvas on the roof and the truck bed.

He concealed his entire body in darkness, leaving only his eyes visible, coldly gazing at the entire warehouse through the gap.

He is the most patient hunter in this dark jungle.

He was waiting for his prey, walking right into the trap.

Time passed, second by second.

Outside the warehouse, the barking of dogs returning home at night and the distant whistle of a passing train could be heard.

All sounds are silent.

After an unknown amount of time, a very faint metallic scraping sound came from the back wall of the warehouse.

Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.

coming.

Outside the warehouse, a dilapidated bread cart sat silently in the shadow of the earthen slope.

The car door slid open, and Scarface Liu, along with five burly men wielding steel pipes and machetes, jumped out like a pack of wild dogs roaming the night.

"You all better watch yourselves!"

Scarface Liu lowered his voice, the scar on his face looking particularly ferocious in the moonlight.

"Smash the car, break the leg, take the money and leave!"

"There's just one kid in there, don't fucking mess him up!"

One of the underlings approached: "Brother Liu, it's dark inside, looks like no one's here."

"Nobody here?"

Scarface Liu spat in the direction of the warehouse.

"Nobody's better!"

"Saves me the trouble!"

With a wave of his hand, several people skillfully formed a human ladder and silently scaled the wall.

The courtyard was empty.

Only the sound of an engine sputtering in the night.

"Damn it, the car's fixed and he still doesn't know to turn off the engine. That kid's a complete idiot."

One of the thugs said, cursing and swearing.

Scarface Liu made a shushing gesture and led the way to the warehouse gate.

He peeked through the crack in the door; it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything.

"Let's do it!"

"A swift and decisive victory!"

He waved his hand, and two henchmen immediately stepped forward and violently broke the door lock with crowbars in their hands.

The door was pulled open from the outside.
